I know, i need to realign the headlights, after i get the new bulbs. I have such big hands, and theres no room at all to work with, lol.

This weekend, ill paint the drums.

The car looked like it was in a small fender bender, as the front right fender was punched in a bit, pushing into the hood. The guy who did the paint pulled it out.

For the tint,i wont be paying any cash, ill explain in a minute.

No, i did not put an 8.8 in, i put the 7.5 ranger axles. But, i didnt pay for the axels, and i could easily get the 8.8 without paying, when i do the swap. Yes, dumb move on my part, but ill explain in a minute.

For the headunit, got a friend whos going to give me his for some paintball equipment that i never use. As for interior speakers, if there cheap, okay. Ill be getting the sub from the friend as well.

I know what you guys are saying about the headlights, ill admit, they look dumb in the pictures, but in person they look alot nicer. Mainly cause you cant really see the clear plastic, so they just look black. And i was always a fan of round headlights, so i kinda like them

Interior, the red looks really nice with the black. In the far future, i might switch it over to all black, but for now, i like.


Well, my family ownes a few laundromats, along with a computer software company. The laundromats are on this barter system, along with a few hudnred other buisnesses. Now the way it works is, you bascialy have monopoly money, that you can buy things or services from other people in this barter system. Now the flip side is, they can come to you and say i want this service or this product from you, and you have to accept their barter money. This summer, the laudnromats have been swamped with buisness from 3 summer camps in the area. We wash and fold, pickup, and deliver about 4000 towels a day. They pay 25 cents a towel. Thats 40grand in barter money by the end of the summer.
Well, we have no need for 40grand in barter money, so the deal was that i can spend the barter money, and work it off at twice my wage.
There was a body shop on this system (who did all the work) there was also a mechanic, and some junkyards. So... I can get the 5.0, the 8.8, and everythign else i need out of the junkyard with this barter money, and really have to pay nothing.

Dont usually like "colored" wheels, but those match the car nice. good work

+1 on the headlights, they just look off, kind like they clutter up a really
clean and simple appearance.
